At first, Evie thought that the person standing next to Byron was Freya.
When she approached, she didn't even bother to look at her properly.
"My condolences," Aron spoke gently.
Evie followed suit and said, "My condolences."
At this moment, Aron and Evie were holding hands.
Athena's gaze slowly moved away from their intertwined hands.
She had just heard from the emcee that Aron and Evie were a married couple.
"Thank you, Mrs. Timberlake, Mr. Timberlake," Athena spoke slowly.
Evie was shocked and felt like she had been struck by lightning.
She immediately looked up at Athena.
Even though Athena was wearing a mask, with those beautiful eyes and eyebrows, she recognized her at a glance.
"Athena?" Evie immediately let go of Aron's hand, her voice trembling.
Athena's eyes turned sharp.
Aron looked at her.
Then he looked at Athena and then at Byron.
Aron was not usually interested in prying into other people's private matters.
When he saw a woman next to Byron, he had no interest in knowing who she was.
But now, the situation was different.
Evie knew the woman.
And she let go of his hand!
"She's your sister-in-law," Byron replied.
Athena looked at Byron speechlessly.
"Sister-in-law?" Evie spoke up, her gaze now as sharp as a knife.
Athena was at a loss for words.
"There are still guests. Let's talk about it later," Aron said to Evie.
Soon, Aron and Evie left.
"Byron, don't spread rumors about me!" Before the next guest arrived, Athena moved a bit away from Byron and said through gritted teeth.
She thought, "So many people were watching them.
So, Byron, who values his reputation, definitely wouldn't dare to behave recklessly."
The journalist never expected to find such big news when they came in!
Byron's love story was highly marketable in gossip media domestically and internationally.
Once this news was released, it would surely become a trending topic within minutes!
"Is that Byron's fiancée?" Some people who had just gone to receive thanks gathered together and whispered.
"Based on my understanding of the Crawford family's traditions, a fiancée shouldn't be standing in the eldest grandson's wife's position. It's most likely that they've already had a low-key wedding!"
"Yeah, that's a possibility. They might want to fulfill Madam Crawford's dying wish. Which elderly person doesn't want to see their descendants get married and have children before they pass away?"
"Could she already be pregnant?"
"Look at her..." Those few people stole glances at Athena's stomach.
No one could control the rumor.
If those gossipmongers thought that you were pregnant, no matter how you tried to explain, it would be in vain.
"It looks like it!" They came to a conclusion.
The journalist was on the side and was even more delighted to hear it.
The journalist couldn't help but feel amazed at the huge advantage of successfully infiltrating. Just by standing casually next to the crowd, they had obtained two sensational news stories.
The central words of the news headline were "Married" and "Pregnant!"
